Include other configuration files #16

Closed sorah closed 10 years ago

sorah commented 10 years ago

I'm happy if mackerel-agent accepts include configuration to load additional configuration files and merge them.

include = /etc/mackerel-agent/conf.d/*

It's familiar to some automation tools such like Chef, Puppet, if user wants to new module with new metrics, User can write new mackerel configuration file for the module and put into conf.d directory.

But with current implementation, user have to implement merging multiple configuration files in their puppet, chef manifests.

Thoughts?

Implementing include is a good idea.

But include is not defined officially in toml. Referring to .gitconfig seems to be fine way?

Yes I've looked TOML reference at first but there's nothing include feature in there.

I think we should implement like .gitconfig if we wanted include feature.

Finally implemented in version 0.11.1! http://blog-ja.mackerel.io/entry/2014/08/07/164834
